    No, he was very clearly incorrect. You're right about that

    Yes. Far more hits than misses.

    Neil would love to be in LA more than LA would love to have Neil.

    I'd guess Neil's wife might love to be there more than Neil...she actually had a career as a actress...Neil really didn't make it in showbiz

    I think both McGowan and Olshey would trade a gig with the Lakers over this one any day.

    Part of Neil's problem in this market and has been since day one is his belief in it and the ability FOR HIMSELF to attract big name free agents. He wouldn't suffer from that same syndrome in LA.

    2010 Aminu ahead of Heyward and George, so miss

    2011 no pick. Traded to Cleveland. 2nd round Trey Tompkins ahead of Chandler Parsons, so miss

    The Portland years

    2012 Lillard was a previous regime and PA pick. Olshey has said this. So Leonar_. Huge miss. Will Barton, hit.

    2013 CJ, hit.

    2014 no pick

    2015 no pick

    2016 incomplete, but miss so far

    So.....ya

    Sam Amick on the A to Z podcast said one of the worst kept secrets in NBA circles is Olshey's desire to go back to LA in some way.

    He'll prolly replace Doc I'm guessing. I just want compensation.
